UPDATE: As of this morning, the total is over 80 dogs rescued from the suspected hoarding case. Our Fulton County Animal Services staff and officers worked through the night to make room for these dogs. But we still need your help:

RESCUE: We are looking for licensed rescues to help. You can email rescue@fultonanimalservices.com if you can assist.

FOSTER: We need fosters for our medium to large sized dogs, to make room for this huge intake. You can email foster@fultonanimalservices.com for more information or show up to the shelter today or tomorrow with a valid photo ID.

DONATE: We need pet supplies, including leashes, collars, harnesses and crates. You can drop off at 860 Marietta Blvd NW. If you cannot drop off supplies, you can always make a monetary donation here (LifeLineAnimal.org/donate).

We are working around the clock to ensure that none of the precious lives in our care are affected by this huge influx of dogs. Thank you for your support ... See more

The importance of see something, do something! Be sure to contact the local authorities as soon as possible. Run free sweet Hope and Jacob! Special thanks to Days End Farm Horse Rescue!

Here at Days End Farm Horse Rescue we are proud of our 98% rehabilitation rate and we celebrate our successful transformations and new beginnings for our horses. But what about the 2%?

Recently we assisted a Maryland county with the seizure of three emaciated horses, two of which scored at 1 and 1.5 out of 9 on the Henneke Body Condition chart. Their bodies were depleted of all fat sources and their suffering was undeniable. We see this all too often and we respond by treating them with an intensive care regime. The first week is always the toughest, most critical phase of bringing a horse back from starvation.

Hope and Jacob arrived in a state of rapid decline and we feared that we were fighting a losing battle to reverse their trajectory. Those fears became our reality on the fifth and sixth days when they reached the end of their reserves and it was the kindest act to let them go.

Simply put, we were too late.

We were too late to alter the affects that their long-term neglect had inflicted on their bodies. These horses are our 2%. They make lasting impressions on our hearts and we are grateful for the opportunity to show them compassion in their final days. It is never easy to lose the fight but we believe they have a lasting legacy; an opportunity to help others in the future. The message to take away from Hope and Jacob’s story is one of action. The efforts of the county saved them a worse fate and it was an anonymous phone call that triggered their investigation. If you would ever witness such neglect, please call county officials for help. Be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Because every day, every hour, matters. ... See more
